Honeoye Inlet Area

[Summitoutdoor1]

Hey Guys, new to this site. Been hunting NYS for years, this place is great!

Has anyone ever hunted the area I have circled below? I hear there are great deer populations to the south of this state land where the old Wells College Campus camp is. Any info is much appreciated!

I believe that spot you circled is steep hill side.

The area is general, have you hunted there?

[Zag]

Nope, but it’s all timber and steep hill side. All I can give ya

Not sure what your picture is going to tell the OP......The area circled in yellow by the OP is VERY steep as noted in the closeness of the contour lines.

Not trying to tell him or her anything. Just verifying the steepness in google earth. Maybe he or she is not familiar with "contour" lines.

Just a bit south there is a road that goes a little bit up the hill and ends at a trail that you can take all the way up on to the top. It is access to great hunting but not many people go up there as it is a tough climb and a long drag of you get a deer. I usually only go up there if there is good snow cover. Makes tracking and dragging soooo much easier. My hunting buddies won’t appreciate me spilling the beans on this area but best of luck to you. It’s beautiful land.

Welcome to the site and there are no deer in Honeoye. They all migrated to Steuben County

Thanks! I understand the terrain of the land. Looking at hunting opportunities if anyone has ever been through there
